Original: 📰 Storm Ransomware Group Claims Attack on Canadian Hospital New ransomware group 'Storm' claims attack on Nipigon Distri
A newly emerged ransomware group calling itself Storm has claimed an attack on Nipigon District Memorial Hospital in Canada. The group listed the hospital among its victims, though the facility has not publicly confirmed the extent of any disruption. Security observers say the claim underscores the ongoing threat that emerging extortion gangs pose to the healthcare sector, where attacks can disrupt patient care and expose sensitive data. Canadian authorities have repeatedly warned hospitals about rising cyber threats.
